Soap and Glory - Offer Review

Land of Soap and Glory

Over the Christmas break, me and my mum were doing our usual
boxing day sale shopping (which can I just say was a huge disappointment) and
we went into boots.

My mum being the saver that she is (nice way to put it) loves going
into boots on boxing day and stocking up on gift sets we may need throughout
the year.. So whilst she was looking at silly bath sets nobody would ever want, I popped down the makeup aisle .. Obviouslyand found an offer on Soap and Glory Cosmetics.

I’m a pretty newbie to Soap and Glory make up but am a huge
fan of their body butters and shower creams that I decided to give it a go.

The offer: Buy 2 Soap and Glory Cosmetic products and get
the Supercat Eyeliner Pen for FREE.

Archery 2-in-1 Brow Filling Pencil & Brush -- £8.00

Let me just put it out there. I'm not really a "fill my brows
on an everyday basis" kinda girl.. I don’t know whether its because I'm lazy, I'm not too
great at it or maybe it’s just that I don’t really see the need…

But I decided to give this a go after hearing great things
online.. I purchased the brow pencil in the shade “hot chocolate” which is a
great match for me.

The kit comes with a spoolie brush on one end and a
very fine roll up pencil on the other.

I love how stiff and stern the spoolie is compared to ones I’ve
used in the past, this helps my brows stay in place throughout the whole day
and the thin pencil makes it so easy to add the illusion of natural hairs.

It
is not very highly pigmented which may suck for some of you brow experts but
for me (someone who is winging it as they go along) it makes it almost
impossible to get it wrong.

Great product and very affordable!!

Supercat Carbon Black Extreme Eyeliner Pen - £6.00 (FREE)

Who can say no to a freebie? Everyone knows when you are
given a product for free you don’t really set your expectations too high.. So I
went into this product hoping for the best but expecting the worst. (bit
dramatic)

I WAS SO IMPRESSED. I have previously been using Maybelline - Master Precise Eyeliner Pen and I found
no fault in it until this came into my life. This eyeliner pen is one of the
thinnest I’ve used, it has a perfectly fine nib which is great for getting into
the inner corners and makes it almost impossible to make a mistake.

I often use this to create a subtle wing on my top eyelid as
well as underneath my normal eyeliner on my lower waterline. This helps my khol
pencil eyeliner stay in place all day and does.not.smudge.

Do I need more mascaras? To a “normal, non-make up obsessed”
individual the answer would obviously no, but the junkie in me decided enough
is never enough so I picked up another one as part of this deal.

Let me justify myself though.. the only other things on
offer we lipsticks which I don’t wear a lot of and pinky blushers - no thanks.

I am so glad I gave into the addict in me and got my hands
on this mascara! This definitely does what it says on the tin.

After the first
time applying this I could see a noticeable difference in the length of my
lashes, they looked a lot longer and fuller and when I added my Rimmel - Wonderfull Mascara the illusion
of falsies was REAL.

However, with all great things they come at a price and with
this product the price was the smudges and product this left on my eyelids. I guess
it made my eyelashes too long so before they dried they would touch my eyelids
and leave that dreaded black mark.

Nothing a cotton bud couldn’t sort out but annoying all the
same.

Have you tried any of these products? What have you thought
about them? Any product recommendations? Leave them below…
